GedWise for Palm

From Battery Park Software:

DescriptionWhy settle for viewing only part of your genealogy database when you can have it all. GedWise lets you transfer a copy of your entire genealogy database from your personal computer to any handheld device running the Palm Operating System. The data transfer is accomplished by using a standard GEDCOM 5.5 file that is created by your PC-based genealogy software. Most contemporary genealogy software is capable of creating a GEDCOM file. GedWise converts this GEDCOM file into a database that can be read and displayed by your handheld device using the GedWise Viewer application. The GedWise application consists of two components: 1) a PC-based program that processes a GEDCOM 5.5 file and converts it to a GedWise database; and 2) a program that resides on your handheld device that allows you to view your GedWise database(s).Benefits and FeaturesGedWise is unparalleled in its ability to incorporate nearly all of your GEDCOM genealogy information into a handheld database.
